Gerrymandering may not reduce partisanship but it still distorts the will of the people by rigging elections in favor of the party who drew the lines.  Ohio is one of the most evenly split states in the country when it comes to party line voting and yet only 25% of the Congress people are Democrats and that's not just because the last two midterms have been better years for Republicans.  The Ohio legislature is even more of a joke when it comes to gerrymandered lines.  You can't tell me that gerrymandering is not a major problem when a state with Ohio's political leanings looks so lopsided when it comes to our districted legislators.
